Nokia gets CoreWeave's Networking Backbone Build-out Agreement

Finnish telecom gear manufacturer CoreWeave has picked Nokia for IP routing and optical transport equipment as part of a worldwide backbone buildout. 

Nokia is implementing the FP5-based Nokia 7750 Service Router (SR), which delivers routing scalability, 800Gbps speeds, and strong Ethernet VPN (EVPN) capabilities, as well as its Service Router Operating System (SROS).

According to Nokia, this technology delivers over 30% more traffic within the same energy environment, which is important to the stringent and skyrocketing data demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads.

CoreWeave, backed up by Nvidia, allows the most compute-intensive and complex workloads, as well as AI-focused applications. The hyperscaler at the top of innovation in a new field drives the leading AI firms and companies worldwide.

"CoreWeave has opted to use Nokia hardware for its backbone and edge platforms to fulfill the performance, stability, and scalability needs of current and future AI and ML hyperscale clouds," added Jim Julson, CoreWeave's Director of Networking.

WAN-to-datacenter connections and optical transmission will be handled by the Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Interconnect (PSI) solution, which also optimizes resource allocation to automate network operations. The automation solutions from Nokia provide enhanced efficiency, scalable performance without sacrificing any quality, and a track record of reliability.
